I hope to do more of these in the future. I think they're a great way to tell family stories to a more technically oriented audience. [And as Rootsmagic pointed out in the comments, a less technically oriented audience as well.]

What should my next subject be? I'm thinkin' RootsTech, but let's just see how it all plays out.

Thanks for watching.

Note: Someone in the comments asked which program I used to make this video. It's Roxio Creator 2011. I have included an affiliate link here:

Very impressive, Amy, and such a great new way of telling a family story. The photographs brought Eleanor alive to us. I don't have the technical skill at the moment, but I can see that this is could be an effective tool in displaying all the family photographs I have.

Thanks Amy. I learned a lot about my grandmother today. Thanks for taking the time to create this and sharing it with us. The one bathing suit picture she looks just like Aunt Violet. I sent this to the boys.

Amy, I'm so glad you shared your blog on our site today so that I had the chance to view this post. I love how you used the photos to tell the story of your great-grandmother... and they are beautiful photos. I think she and I would have gotten along great... I too love the outdoors!

What a fantastic what to celebrate a woman and to invite people in! She reminds me of my grandmother in her youth. Great idea for future entries. You always challenge me- now if I could find my darn pictures of my childhood home I could get that entry down.
